Overextended and Loving Most of It: The Unexpected Joy of Being Harried, Heartbroken, and Hurling Oneself Off Cliffs

Would you consider your life stretched to the limit?Are you a burn-the-candle-at-both-ends kind of gal with lots of room for improvement when it comes to creating margins for rest? ButÂ you actuallyÂ loveÂ it and wouldnâ€™t want it any other way?Â Well, so does Lisa Harper.In her humorous and packed-with-biblical-wisdom way, Lisa shows us that it is possible for a frazzled nature to be glorifying to the Lord. Every late-night conversation with a hurting friend and each precious, adopted child needing a little extra tender loving careâ€”exhausting, yet imperative, ways to be extensions of the gospel. In each of these vignettes illustrating Lisaâ€™s overextended life, we learn that even in the middle of our own pure motives and hectic schedules, it is only by resting in Godâ€™s sovereign mercy that we are able to keep risking our hearts to serve his people and fulfill the callings he has placed on us.RealÂ life . . .Â abundantÂ life . . . godlyÂ life is about loving Jesus and the people he allows us to rub shoulders with wellâ€”which means some days youâ€™ll be stretched emotionally and physically. Youâ€™ll feel overextended. Thankfully God will expand our hearts and calendars to accommodateÂ the calling. He is in the business of supplying us with newÂ mercies every morning . . . new candles to burn, for more livesÂ needing his light. Â
